THE NEW RAILROAD.
Giles is Ready to Go on With the Survey
and the Work.

The railroad meeting at the court
house Monday was the largest we
have yet had. Col. Rose assumed
the chair and announced the object
of the meeting to be to hear a re.
port from the preliminary subscrlp-
tion committee. He stated that the
prospects remain bright for the
road and he stated it as his opinion
that the wisest and easiest way to
raise the money would be to issue
bonds to the required amount, and
he gave it as his opinion and forti-
fed his opinion with facts and ar
guments that sustained it, that the
county would not be called on to
pay interest more than three years.
Messrs. Stacy, Rothrock and
Marbut (the latter for Mr.. Booth }
reported that they had subscribed
on their books, as follows: Stacy
$436 80, Rothrock $3.50, Booth SIT
total $6lS so. Mr.. Fitzpatrick
and DR.. Waters of the com mittee
failed to report. Maj. Stacy said
that when the books.came to HIM
the caption of the subscription did
not have the name of Pulaski in it
and he changed it SO that the SUBJ
scription would not be binding IN
less the road came by Pulaski. The
convention approved his action.
The committee was continued
and requested to raise more money.
They were also granted leave to in
crease their number if necessary.
Maj. Stacy moved that the COM
mittee be ordered to notify the
president of the provisional board
that Giles is ready to begin the
work.
The meeting then adjourned sub
ject to the call of the chairman.

Pisgah Points.
BY NEPTUNE.

Laps, being kind O like in
clined to indulge our mind upon
topics of progress and enterprise,
we will in brief bring to mention
sentiments Of the majority of this
vicinity on the subject of the new
railroad, whose whistle l hope will
penetrate the wax Of every mans
ears in Giles county ere long. We
all want competing road,no doubt,
and we want it so bad that we have
TO Law down to smile when the road
is mentioned, but 10 We all want to
help pay for 1t if we are called up
on? No, sir; there are plenty of
men who will confront you and say
that they oppose 1t by taxation and
that they will not be benefited by it.
Now we all favor the road being
built by stock, but il there is a
failure in getting the road sby
this means, would not it be good
policy for the producer or farmer to
suffer himself to be taxed for few
years and get this road and there
after get the benefits of cheaper
transportation? There ere a great
many people who are by this road
like an old gentleman was by his
religion: Ga all protracted meeting
occasions he would spend his time
in shouting free grace, free grace,
till one Of the preachers went to
him and told him that it was not
exactly free-he must give a dollar
to pay his pikeage any way On his
road to heaven. The old fellow
shook his head and pulled out his
handkerchief, wiped his eyes and
Quit the business. Now, l did not
aim to make railroad speech
when l started out, but l am in q
tangle like the fellow was in his
prayer-I can't stop it, but in con
clusion we will say, Laps, that oul
hearts are bound to you for the
grand work you are doing in this
enterprise, and we look to you as
our Moses and We will be as true tt
you as Peter was to Christ, if any
body jumps on you, especially if be
is little man, we will draw back
aud cut his ear off but if you should
get into extremely close quarters
we might ouss and swear we never
knew you.
